Availability

I'm currently between career positions, this allows me to be here with your dog all hours of the day and night. I am able to walk your dog either every two hours, or on demand! I'm intuitive and sympathetic to older dogs who move slower or need just a little of help doing things like getting on the couch, or finding their food bowl.

Information Kevin S. would like to know about your pet

As mentioned, I cater to older dogs, dogs who need daily pet medications, and dogs with special needs that do not prevent them from walking up stairs. I also have my own doggy stairs, so if your sweet babe needs some assistance getting back into your vehicle, I've got you covered. Unfortunately, if your dog aggressive, or unfriendly, I won't be able to accept your request as the dogs I house sit for must be social with dogs as well as adult humans of all genders.

A typical day

As mentioned earlier, I live across the way from one of the larger city parks. These walks will give your dog the opportunity to meet and greet other dogs, lay in the grass and sun, and enjoy lots of sniffing. I test the pavement with my bare feet before I walk our dogs, so you'll never have to worry about burnt feet.

Got an old, slow walking dog?

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs most of my life. My current boy is named Jackson, he's eleven years old. We've been together since he was just four months old. Most of my experience is with larger breeds, and older dogs who need just a little bit of extra help. I do live on the second floor, so your sweet dog will need to be able to walk up stairs.

Kevin was great and very flexible, he kindly approved my last minute request. My dog, Chico, had great experience with him.
